Something really trivial but I can't get my head wrapped around it...Final Fantasy XII

[Anzu Mazaki]

So there's the famous images of all the judges marching into dalmasca or something...

Incidently this the same image from the scene in the intro sequence after you load the game (not the opening). But I can't figure out why for whatever reason they moved the position of Judge Ghis and Judge Drace in the official-wallpaper-image from the fmv...

Its really small, very trivial, but I always noticed there was something different about it and its just kind of weird...significance of it? Was Ghis' helmet too pointy and they thought they should contrast it with Drace's rounder one? XD

Drace got tired of that pervy asshole Ghis checking out her sexy ass as she marched in front of him.

Well, the screenshot they're in a triangular position. Making it look more like a march with the leader up front.

The wallpaper looks more like a photoshoot. Awww yeah lookit those sexy GQMFs strut their stuff

Yeah I prefer the screenshot, they look like they're in formation which is organized and threatening. I suppose that since Drace is a more developed character, they moved her to the front of the team for the wallpaper.

Although, I think this is the first time I've ever noticed just how bloody impractical all of those helmets are. Zargabaath literally has a sheet of metal covering his face. It doesn't even have air-holes.

What's more important:

Why did they never do that slo-mo power walk in the game? =(

I prefer the screenshot more myself, although I would argue Ghis was pretty developed as well- at least you got to fight him. In fact, if we're counting screentime or spoken lines, I would say Drace got the least-she only shows up twice and both times seemed to be helping develope either Gabranth and/or Zargabaath's character. And perhaps even Bergan, seeing as they're polar opposites.

Ditto the helmet though-wearing that in Dalmasca's desert is just asking to suffocate. The price to pay for looking cool.
